BSI RESEARCH
Spine specialists
At Barcelona Spine Institute we are spine specialists. And we are spine researchers. We do not understand medicine without the practice of research.
Every year, members of our team lead and participate in studies specializing in spinal pathology which we present at conferences and publish in the most prestigious specialized journals around the world.
Artificial intelligence
We have also been pioneers in many areas of the specialty. For example, when we decided, more than 10 years ago, to turn our attention to learning from data and apply artificial intelligence to scoliosis. We anticipated that a valuable source of knowledge could emerge from the processing of spinal patient data from all over the world. And so we teamed up with international specialists from various hospitals in Europe and the United States through the ESSG (European Spine Study Group). In doing so, we are making a decisive contribution to personalized medicine.
World Reference
Several members of our team are also leaders of medical societies in this specialty: in Spain, Europe and the world. Dr. Ferran Pellisé is a world reference in scoliosis and kyphosis: he is the first non-American to become secretary general of the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS), a society which, for more than 50 years, has been a leader in research and education in the treatment of spinal deformities. .
Dr. Ferran Pellisé has received numerous prestigious research awards, as author or co-author, including: the EuroSpine Best Paper Award 2014, the SRS Whitecloud Award for Best Clinical paper2015 and 2016, the Best Podium PresentationEANS (European Asociation of NeuroSurgeons) 2018, the Best Paper AwardGEER 2019 and the SRS Russell Hibbs Award 2013 and 2021.
